Exam DP-750 Topic 1 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-750 exam
Question #: 34
Topic #: 1
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that is enabled for Unity Catalog.
You need to ensure that data lineage is captured and can be reviewed for tables accessed by Databricks notebooks and jobs. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
Which compute configuration should you use to capture the data lineage, and what should you use to review the data lineage? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:
Data lineage in Unity Catalog is captured automatically - but only when jobs and notebooks run on clusters that are Unity Catalog-aware. Specifically, clusters must use 'Shared' or 'Single User' access mode. Clusters set to 'No Isolation Shared' or legacy 'High Concurrency' mode do not emit lineage events to the Unity Catalog lineage service.
No instrumentation, logging code, or external tools are required. The lineage service operates transparently, intercepting read and write operations at the Spark plan level and recording the table-to-table and column-to- column relationships.
To review captured lineage, open Catalog Explorer, navigate to the table, and select the Lineage tab. This shows the upstream sources that populate the table and the downstream consumers that read from it - all as an interactive graph, with no additional tooling needed. This built-in visibility is one of the core governance benefits Unity Catalog provides.
